Originally published in 1914 ""Busting 'Em and Other Big League Stories"", by Ty Cobb is a collection of stories and anecdotes from Cobb's time playing professional baseball. The book gives readers an inside look at the game during the early 20th century, as well as a glimpse into the life and mind of one of the greatest baseball players of all time.

It covers Cobb's career in the American League and his time with the Detroit Tigers. It also includes stories of his rivalry with other baseball greats and his experiences both on and off the field. The book is considered a classic among baseball fans and historians.

Amongst the anecdotes shared are Cobb's explanation of the beating incident at Hilltop Park, the Baker spiking, and his contentious relationship with teammates. His thoughts on umpires, his contemporaries, crowds, and strategy are also shared. He tells of his sensational plays, his methods of defeating rival teams and the brains and knowledge of human nature that is required for the success that he achieved.
